2.1.2.2 Grounding of the device 

Grounding protects people and machines against hazardous voltages. To avoid these
dangers as far as possible, correct grounding, taking the local conditions into account, is
vital.
Functional grounding of the device:

The device must be connected to ground (functional earth ground) via the metal part of
the housing. If this is not possible, ensure a low-resistance ground connection (functional
earth ground) for the shielding of the Ethernet cable.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
FL WLAN 110x and FL WLAN 210x: it is recommended that the base plate of the device is
grounded by connecting the mounting screws to a grounded metal surface (functional earth
ground/FE).
If this is not possible, e.g., because the device is installed on a plastic surface, you must
make sure that the Ethernet cable is properly shielded. This is particularly important if the
housing is not grounded by other means, e.g., via the base plate.
2.1.3 Mounting the device on a level surface
The devices in the FL WLAN 110x/210x series are designed for external mounting on con-
trol cabinets, machines, automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems or similar equipment.
To mount the device on a level surface, a bore hole is required for the mounting flange (40
mm in diameter). The nut must be tightened (8-10 Nm maximum) to ensure a tight seal. The
device can be additionally secured to the surface with two screws (M6). When using this ad-
ditional screw connection, make sure that the entire system is sealed tight.
The device can be installed in any mounting position.

2.1.3.1 Drill hole template
Please keep in mind that the devices are shipped with different base plates. Select the ap-
propriate drill hole template for your device.

2.1.4 Mounting the device with cable feed-through and seal
When mounting the device outside the control cabinet (e.g., on a mounting bracket), a cable
feed-through with seal can be used to seal the connection dome for the supply line. The
metal cable feed-through (FL M32 ADAPTER, Order No. 2702544) screws into the M32 in-
ternal thread of the FL WLAN 110x connection dome. The FL WLAN 110x is therefore
sealed to IP54 even outdoors.
Figure 2-7 Mounting on a mounting bracket. If the device is not mounted directly on a
control cabinet, use the FL M32 ADAPTER (Order No. 2702544) to create
the seal.

2.1.4.1 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER

Figure 2-8 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER
2.1.4.2 Tightness of seal, retention, and strain relief (in accordance with EN
50262)
Tightening torque (double nipple): 15 Nm for M32
Tightening torque (pressure screw): 20 Nm for Pg29
Tightness of seal for 7 mm hole pattern and 8.5 mm for cable:
IP65 protection is achieved in accordance with DIN EN 60529(2014.09) if the difference be-
tween the cable diameter and hole is less than 10%.
If both are the same, IP68 can be achieved up to 10 bar with defined “retention” in accor-
dance with EN 50262 Class A. The tightness of seal and strain relief depend on the cable
used.
2.1.4.3 Mounting taking the internal antennas into consideration

The FL WLAN 110x/210x has two internal antennas which transmit through the plastic
housing. This must be taken into consideration when mounting the device: in order to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted via the built-in antennas, the device must not
be installed inside control cabinets or other metal housings.
The devices in the FL WLAN 110x/210x series have internal antennas for WLAN commu-
nication. The device should therefore be mounted on the outside of metal objects to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
In order to optimize the device's performance with respect to transmission, the same rules
that apply when mounting antennas should be observed. An important criterion here is the
lateral distance from conductive surfaces. These surfaces can influence the radio propaga-
tion (directional characteristics of the antenna) due to reflections and interference.
Figure 2-9 Mounting distance from lateral conductive surfaces
Due to its internal antennas, the device should not be located too close to conductive ob-
jects, if possible. Keep a distance of more than 100 mm, if possible. Smaller distances are
possible, but they may adversely affect transmission.

Whether data transmission occurs depends on whether the passwords and certificates are
valid. A WLAN connection can therefore exist although data cannot be transmitted. If WLAN
authentication fails, this is indicated in the log file.

3.2.2 General sequence for startup
For startup, supply the device with operating voltage (nominal value: 24 V DC). The assign-
ment of the connector is shown in “Connections and operating elements of the device” on
page 13.
In order to start up the device, the device must first be assigned an IP address. This is done
via BootP. The IP address is allocated by a corresponding server in the network or a PC tool
(see “Assigning the IP address using IPAssign.exe” on page 24). The device can then be
configured via the web interface (WBM) or the Command Line Interface (CLI).
In any case, the device must be connected via its Ethernet interface and an appropriate
cable (RJ45 connector) to the device used for configuration.
By default upon delivery (factory settings), the WLAN interface is deactivated for security
reasons. Configuration via the WLAN interface is therefore not possible in this state.
The device can be configured by setting all parameters via the web interface (see “Startup
via the web interface” on page 27) or the Command Line Interface (CLI). In order to do this,
the device must first be assigned an IP address. The factory default setting is BootP.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
3.2.3 Assigning the IP address via BootP (with IPAssign)
This section explains IP address assignment using the “IP Assignment Tool” Windows soft-
ware (IPAssign.exe). This software can be downloaded free of charge at phoenixcon-
tact.net/product/2702534. The tool can also be found under “Help & Documentation” on the
web page for the device, where it can be downloaded directly.
Notes on BootP
During initial startup, the device sends BootP requests without interruption until it receives
a valid IP address. As soon as it receives a valid IP address, the device stops sending BootP
requests.
After receiving a BootP reply, the device no longer sends BootP requests. Following a re-
start, a device that was previously configured sends three BootP requests; if these requests
are not answered, the device starts with the IP address that was last assigned via BootP.
After the factory settings are restored, the device sends BootP requests until they are an-
swered.
Requirements
The device is connected to a computer with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
3.2.4 Assigning the IP address using IPAssign.exe
Step 1: downloading and executing the program

You can either load the tool from the Internet or from the device itself.
From the Internet:

• On the Internet, select the link phoenixcontact.net/products.
• Enter IPASSIGN in the search field, for example.
The BootP IP addressing tool can be found under “Configuration file”.
• Double-click on the “IPAssign.exe” file.
• In the window that opens, click on the “Run” button.
Step 2: “IP Assignment Wizard”
For the device to send BootP requests, you must switch the device back to BootP on the
“Quick setup/IP Address assignment” web page.
The program opens and the start screen of the addressing tool appears.
The program is mainly in English for international purposes. However, the program buttons
change according to the country-specific settings.
The start screen displays the IP address of the PC. This helps when addressing the device
in the following steps.
• Click on the “Next” button.
Step 3: “IP Address Request Listener”

All devices sending a BootP request are listed in the window which opens. These devices
are waiting for a new IP address.

Figure 3-1 “IP Address Request Listener” window
In this example, the device has MAC ID 00.A0.45.04.08.A3.

• Select the device which you want to assign an IP address to.
• Click on the “Next” button.
Step 4: “Set IP Address”

The following information is displayed in the window which opens:
– IP address of the PC
– MAC address of the selected device
– IP parameters of the selected device
(IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address)
– Any incorrect settings
Figure 3-2 “Set IP Address” window with incorrect settings
• Adjust the IP parameters according to your requirements.

If inconsistencies are no longer detected, a message appears indicating that a valid IP ad-
dress has been set.
• Click on the “Next” button and perform a voltage reset.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
Step 5: “Assign IP Address”

3.3.2 Quick setup
The “Quick Setup” feature on the web page allows you to quickly configure the minimum re-
quirements of a WLAN network. You are guided through the individual menus by a wizard.
The procedure is described below.
Establishing a connection to the device

• Connect the device to the supply voltage and connect it to the PC via an Ethernet cable.
• In order to address the device, an IP address is assigned to it via BootP. To do this, an
appropriate tool is needed on the PC (for details, see Section “Assigning the IP address
via BootP (with IPAssign)” on page 24).
• Using a browser, go to the assigned IP address.
• In web-based management, select “Quick Setup”.

• Login: enter “admin” as the user name and “private” as the password.
Figure 3-6 “Login” web page
On the “Quick Setup” page, a wizard guides you through all the relevant parameters for
basic configuration. Please note the option on the first page to configure the device from the
factory settings (“Factory default”). If you select this option, all configuration settings previ-
ously made will be deleted.
At the end of the wizard, you are prompted to confirm all the settings that have been made.
The device is then rebooted in order to apply all the settings.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
3.4 Operating modes of the device
The device supports “Access Point”, “Client”, and “Repeater” modes. “Client” mode is sub-
divided into three options: “FTB - Fully Transparent Bridge”, “SCB - Single Client Bridge”,
and “MCB - Multi Client Bridge”. Each operating mode supports different applications.
3.4.1 Operating mode: Access Point
In “Access Point” mode, the FL WLAN 110x represents the wireless interface of an Ethernet
network. WLAN devices can be connected wirelessly to a network via this access point.
Important parameters
The WLAN network, which is represented by one or more access points, is assigned a net-
work name known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is its main feature. In order to
ensure network security against unauthorized access via the WLAN interface (according to
IEEE 802.11i), secure encryption must also be used.
The network name and encryption are defined in the access point. They can be entered via
the web interface.
Any WLAN client that would like to access the network via this access point must know the
SSID and encryption.
If WLAN access is to take place at several points in an Ethernet network or a wide area is to
be covered, multiple WLAN access points, which are connected to the network, are used.
If all of these access points use the same SSID and encryption, a connected WLAN client
can switch between the access points.
Roaming
The process where a WLAN client switches from one access point to another is known as
roaming. The speed of roaming varies depending on the type of client used. Roaming is
rather slow in the case of a notebook. For applications where roaming needs to be carried
out in a fraction of a second, industrial WLAN clients must definitely be used. Roaming is
primarily defined via the client. Access points are effective due to their physical location, set
transmission power, and antenna. They make sure that there is sufficient network coverage
available at every location. The FL WLAN 110x is already optimized for fast roaming in Cli-
ent mode. The user can only improve effectiveness by restricting channels via the “Roaming
list” under “WLAN interface”.
Network planning
The frequencies to be specified for the wireless channels, ideally as early as the WLAN net-
work planning stage, are also defined via the access point. In addition, it may be possible to
select the transmission standard according to 802.11.
Multiple WLAN clients can be connected simultaneously to every access point. Due to the
higher number of clients per access point, the amount of data that can be transmitted via
each individual client is reduced. This can vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on
how much data the application requests via the individual clients. If the application has time
requirements, the number of clients must also be taken into consideration. For example, for
PROFINET applications, it is recommended to reduce the number of clients per access
point to a few devices. This can be achieved by using multiple access points and assigning
different frequencies and SSIDs.

3.4.2 Operating mode: Client
3.4.2.1 Compatibility between different WLAN device manufacturers

The following describes points relating to the client configuration that should be noted when
using WLAN devices from different manufacturers. The Ethernet protocols and the number
of Ethernet devices that can be transmitted are described.

Properties:
– Transparently connects an Ethernet device to the access point on Layer 2 via WLAN.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
Automatic SCB
It is not necessary to manually enter the MAC or IP address of the connected device in the
FL WLAN 110x. It requests them automatically.
Only one wired device may be connected in SCB mode.
Example of static IP:

An Ethernet device (L2) with static IP address is connected to the copper port of the
FL WLAN 110x (in SCB mode).
A ping is sent or the IP address of the Ethernet device (L2) behind the client is addressed
via a browser by the PC that is connected to the access point on the other side.
Old ARP tables (in the PC) can be deleted with the “arp –d” command to ensure that the
ARP request is resent. If necessary, delete the browser cache.
Example of DHCP/BootP/DCP:
If the Ethernet device (L2) is in DHCP mode, the MAC address is transmitted to the FL
WLAN 110x and beyond.
If several Ethernet devices are connected in automatic SCB mode, it is possible that the
MAC address of an unwanted device is entered automatically, even during later opera-
tion. To avoid this, it is recommended that you use manual SCB mode.
Manual SCB
If several Ethernet devices are connected to the Ethernet port of the FL WLAN 110x on the
cable side, it is recommended that the MAC address of the device that is to be connected
via the WLAN interface is entered manually in the web interface.
In contrast to automatic mode, this will ensure that this specific device is addressed. The
other devices in the network cannot be accessed via WLAN.
In Single Client Bridge (SCB) mode, data is transmitted transparently on Layer 2. Only the
device whose MAC address is entered for FL WLAN 110x can be accessed via WLAN.
3.4.2.3 Operation as a multi-client

Properties:
– Connects several Ethernet devices (connected via Ethernet Switches) to the access
point on Layer 3.
– The Ethernet device is detected automatically.
– Operates between all WLAN devices, even devices (access points) from third-party
manufacturers. Several network devices can therefore be connected on the cable side.
In this mode, restrictions apply and not all protocols are transmitted, just Layer 3 trans-
parent protocols. These include, for example, TCP/IP but not PROFINET or Ether-
Net/IP™.
3.4.2.4 Operation as a fully transparent bridge (default)

Properties:
– Connects several Ethernet devices (connected via Ethernet switches) to the access
point on Layer 2.
Connection is only possible with devices (access points) that support the same fully trans-
parent bridge mode.

– An FTB connection between the FL WLAN 110x and the device (access point) of a
third-party manufacturer can only work if the latter uses the same, non-standardized im-
plementation. This is possible, but rather unlikely. More detailed information regarding
interoperability in FTB mode with other manufacturers cannot be provided.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
3.4.3 Operating mode: Repeater
The FL WLAN 110x offers repeater functionality. This means that several devices in one line
can be connected via WLAN. One or more clients can log onto the individual devices in this
repeater chain. These can be connected via WLAN or the Ethernet copper ports. This re-
peater function allows for the creation of a linear structure. A meshed network or rings can-
not be created.
It is recommended that no more than two repeaters are operated in a line, as the trans-
mission speed is drastically reduced.
Properties:
– The repeater acts as a logical dual device with a client (FTB) and an access point. The
repeater can therefore connect to every AP.
– All repeaters run on the same WLAN channel.
– In Repeater mode, the data rate is at least halved as each data packet is received and
sent.
– The coverage area of a WLAN network is enlarged.
– The configuration matches that of a client.
– Only with PSK encryption.
3.4.3.1 Configuring the Repeater mode
Configuring the repeater
All FL WLAN 110x devices in a network that are configured as repeaters operate with one
SSID, one security mode, and one passkey. The same applies to the clients that are con-
nected to the repeaters via WLAN. All devices use a single wireless channel.
The use of WPS is not supported in Repeater mode.
When operating a repeater network at frequencies that require RADAR detection (Dy-
namic Frequency Selection, DFS), depending on the size of the network, the connection
may be permanently interrupted. It is recommended that a repeater network is operated
at frequencies that do not require DFS, e.g., the 2.4 GHz band.

3.5 Firmware update
A firmware update can be performed directly via the web interface.

• To do so, select “Update Firmware” under the “System” menu item.
• A “Firmware Update” pop-up window allows you to choose whether to update the firm-
ware via “HTTP” or “TFTP”.
Note: please keep in mind that the configuration settings of the device may be lost when
you downgrade the firmware.
3.5.1 HTTP
• Select “HTTP” and click on the “Browse” button. Then select the folder containing the
new firmware. The new firmware file is a “.bin” file.
The firmware is loaded, and “Update in progress...” indicates the update status.
“Firmware Update successful” is displayed as the status once the update is completed.
• Close the “Firmware Update” window.
To activate the new firmware, the device must be restarted. This is done automatically if the
corresponding presetting was left enabled in the “Firmware Update” pop-up window.
3.5.2 TFTP
• Select “TFTP” and enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the window provided for
this purpose. In the "Remote firmware filename" window, enter the path and name of
the firmware file.
• Start the TFT file transfer by clicking on the “Apply” button.
• Close the “Firmware Update” window.
• To activate the new firmware, the device must be restarted. This can be done by click-
ing on the “Reset” button at the top of the “System” web window or by performing a volt-
age reset for the device.

Configuration and diagnostics via Command-Line Interface (CLI)
4 Configuration and diagnostics via

Command-Line Interface (CLI)
4.1 Using the Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based tool that can be used to configure and
diagnose the device. The CLI is accessed by means of a connection via Telnet (factory de-
fault) or SSH. The configuration of the CLI service via the device's web-based management
is described in Section “Assigning the IP address via BootP (with IPAssign)” on page 24.
4.2 Access to the CLI
The CLI is accessed via a Telnet connection (factory default) or SSH connection from a
management host, e.g., a PC. The Windows command prompt or the PuTTY freeware tool
can be used as an input terminal, for example.
The device requires an IP address and a subnet mask in order to access the CLI. The con-
figuration of the device network parameters is described in Section “Assigning the IP ad-
dress via BootP (with IPAssign)” on page 24.

Figure 4-2 Establishing a Telnet connection via Windows command prompt

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
Figure 4-3 Command terminal in Windows command prompt
4.3 Basic principles for using CLI commands
In this section, the CLI command names are written in bold. CLI parameters are written in
italics and must be replaced by appropriate values (e.g., names or numbers). If a command
has several parameters, the order of these must be strictly observed.
The parameters of a command may be mandatory, optional or a selection of values (see

Table “Structure of CLI commands” on page 38).
Table 4-1 Structure of CLI commands
Icon Example Description
< > Angle brackets <Value> Denotes a mandatory parameter that must be entered in
place of the brackets
[ ] Square brackets [Value] Denotes an optional parameter that can be entered in place
of the brackets
{} Braces {choice1 | choice2} Denotes the mandatory selection of a value from a given list
of values
| Vertical bars choice1 | choice2 Separates mutually exclusive selection options
[{}] Braces within square [{choice 1 | choice 2}] Denotes a selection within an optional parameter
brackets
4.4 Command syntax
A command consists of one or more terms which can be followed by one or more parame-
ters. These parameters can be mandatory or optional values.
Some commands, e.g., show network or clear config, do not require parameters. Other
commands, e.g., network parms, require values to be specified after the command name.
The parameters must be entered in the specified order, whereby optional parameters al-
ways follow mandatory parameters.

The following example illustrates the syntax using the network parms command:
network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]
• network parms is the command name.
• <ipaddr> and <netmask> are parameters and represent mandatory values, which must be
specified after entering the command name.
• [gateway] is an optional parameter, which means that a value does not have to be speci-
fied.
The following examples illustrate the correct syntax for entering the network parms com-
mand:
network parms 192.168.10.42 255.255.255.0
network parms 192.168.10.42 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.0
The following examples illustrate incorrect syntax for entering the network parms com-
mand:
network parms 192.168.10.42 - missing mandatory parameter
network parms 255.255.255.0 - missing mandatory parameter
network parms 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.42 - incorrect parameter sequence
4.5 Using the CLI help
Entering a question mark (?) in the command prompt displays a list of all the commands cur-
rently available together with a brief description.
Table 4-2 Structure of CLI commands
Command Description
? Displays the available commands
Typing a question mark (?) after each entry displays all the available command names or
parameters from this point on.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
If Help outputs a parameter in angle brackets, this parameter must be replaced by a value.
Example:
<ipaddr> Enter the IP address
If at any point there are no further command names or parameters available, or further pa-
rameters are optional, the following message appears prompting you to execute the com-
mand that was entered:
<cr> Press Enter to execute the command
4.6 Auto-completion of commands
The auto completion command is an additional way of writing a command, provided enough
letters have already been entered to clearly identify the command name. As soon as
enough letters have been entered, press space or TAB to automatically complete the
words.
4.7 Using the CLI Network Scripting UI
The CLI Network Scripting UI enables CLI commands from scripts to be loaded onto the de-
vice via the network. This means that the device can be configured and diagnosed using a
URL via PC or from a controller. Each command that is entered is confirmed by the device,
either with OK (config commands) or by outputting the device data (show commands).

The command entry must follow a specific syntax:

http://ipaddress/php/command.php?usr=username&pwd=password&cmd=cli_com-
mand_1 | cli_command_2 | ....
The following examples illustrate the correct syntax for entering commands via the CLI Net-
work Scripting UI:
Example: changing the device name
http://192.168.10.42/php/command.php?usr=admin&pwd=private&cmd=device-identity
name Device2000
Example: displaying the network parameters and changing the user password
http://192.168.10.42/php/command.php?usr=admin&pwd=private&cmd=show network |
users passwd private2

Diagnostics
5 Diagnostics
5.1 WLAN signal strength diagnostics in Client mode
If the device is in Access Point, Client or Repeater mode, the current WLAN signal strength
of the connected devices can be displayed. This function can be used to determine the sig-
nal strength when setting up wireless paths.
Thanks to the dynamic display, it is possible to determine the signal strength of the con-
nected devices at various locations (e.g., mobile clients).
In Client mode, the current signal strength value of the connected device is displayed graph-
ically and dynamically in the “Diagnostics” – “RSSI Graph” menu. The RSSI (Radio Signal
Strength Indication) value indicates the signal strength of the connected access point at the
client location in dB.
The MAC address of the connected devices and the current WLAN signal strength (RSSI)
are displayed at the top of the window.
Figure 5-1 Display of the current WLAN signal strength in Client mode
The value is only displayed and updated while the web page is open. When the web page
is closed, the display is cleared.
Another option for dynamically displaying the signal strength of the access point in Client
mode can be found in the “Interface Status – WLAN” menu. Here, the “Show signal bar”
check box must be activated (see Figure 5-2 on page 44). The check box can only be acti-
vated if a connection already exists.

FL WLAN 1100/1101/2100/2101
The current signal strength in dBm is displayed to the right of the bar graph. The average
signal strength as well as maximum and minimum values during the current measuring pe-
riod are displayed below the bar graph. Measurement is stopped when you exit the web
page.

Diagnostics
5.2 WLAN channel assignment diagnostics in Access

Point mode
If the device is in Access Point mode, it is possible to detect other WLAN networks that are
within range. The WLAN channels used and the number of networks per channel are repre-
sented as a graphic. In this way, you can find a free channel for your own WLAN network,
for example.
In Access Point mode, the WLAN networks that are within range are displayed in the “Diag-
nostics” – “Channel Allocation” menu when you click on the “Scan” button.

A 1.1 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A 1.1.1 General function

SNMP is a non-proprietary standard for Ethernet management. It defines commands for
reading and writing information, and defines formats for error and status messages. SNMP
is also a structured model that consists of agents, their relevant MIB (Management Informa-
tion Base), and a manager. The manager is a software tool that is executed on a network
management station. The agents are located inside switches, bus terminals, routers, and
other devices that support SNMP. The task of the agents is to collect and provide data in the
MIB. The manager regularly requests and displays this information. The devices can be
configured by writing data from the manager to the MIB. In the event of an emergency, the
agents can also send messages (traps) directly to the manager.
All configuration modifications, which are to take effect after a device restart, must be
saved permanently.
SNMP interface
All managed Factoryline components have an SNMP agent. The agent of the device man-
ages the Management Information Base II (MIB 2) in acc. with RFC1213.
Network management stations, such as a PC with Factory Manager, can read and modify
configuration and diagnostic data from network devices via the Simple Network Manage-
ment Protocol. In addition, any SNMP tools or network management tools can be used to
access Factoryline products via SNMP. To do this, the MIBs supported by the relevant de-
vice must be made available to the SNMP management tools.
On the one hand, these are globally valid MIBs, which are specified and described in RFCs
(Requests for Comments). This includes, for example, MIB2 according to RFC1213, which
is supported by all SNMP-compatible network devices. On the other hand, manufacturers
can specify their own SNMP objects, which are then assigned to a private manufacturer
area in the large SNMP object tree. Manufacturers are then responsible for their own private
(enterprise) areas, i.e., they must ensure that only one object (object name and parameters)
is assigned to an object ID and can be published. If an object is no longer needed, it can be
labeled as “expired”, but it cannot be reused with other parameters under any circum-
stances.
Phoenix Contact provides notification of ASN1 SNMP objects by publishing their descrip-
tions on the Internet.
Reading SNMP objects is not password-protected. However, a password is required for
read access in SNMP, but this is set to “public”, which is usual for network devices, and can-
not be modified. By default upon delivery, the password for write access is “private” and can
be changed by the user.
For SNMP, the password “public” is used for read-only access and the password “private”
is used for read/write access.

Another benefit for the user is the option of sending traps using the Simple Network Man-
agement Protocol.
Management Information Base (MIB)

Database which contains all the data (objects and variables) required for network manage-
ment.
Agent
An agent is a software tool which collects data from the network device on which it is in-
stalled and transmits this data on request. Agents reside in all managed network compo-
nents and transmit the values of specific settings and parameters to the management sta-
tion. On request by a manager or on the occurrence of a specific event, the agent transmits
the collected information to the management station.
